i really like making synths and effects in SynthMaker, but unlike SynthEdit, the resulting VST plugins won't work on my handy little v-machine hardware plugin box. Is there any way of making this work?

Hi midikontroller, welcome to the forum,
I checked out your link, and had a look at the v-machine user manual - but they seem very vague about the full spec's of the VST formats they support, apart from saying that they "do not guarantee that all VST plugin will work". The list of tested plugins on their site also seems rather dated.
I'm assuming that you have tried your plugins on a Windows host - i.e. you know that they work OK in a Windows sequencer etc.?
One thing I did notice is that the v-machine doesn't use Windows in any form, but has it's own native OS. Could be that this is part of the problem, as SM uses some of Windows' built in functions (e.g. Timers) to make various modules work. Also, SM plugins compile themselves at run-time (an SM .dll includes a schematic plus an embedded version of the SM software itself), and this might be causing problems as the SM compiler may require access to Windows system files etc. - in contrast, AFAIK, SE plugin .dlls are saved in a fully compiled form (you can see this if you take a look at the difference in size between a SE dll and a SM one)
Best bet is probably to get in touch with the SMPro people with an example SM plugin to see what they make of it.
